Before I became a part of embryology lab, I usually thought that IVF was for couples with high maternal/paternal age. But I was proved wrong. Many of the patients were in their late twenties or early thirties, and often a part the IT sector. That put me to thought that how one aspiration (career) can clash with other(having a child). ---

My time at the IVF lab was truly eye-opening , witnessing the science behind creating life, from oocyte retrieval to embryo culture, made me appreciate the precision, patience, and ethics involved in fertility care. ---

Yes… this is true in light of stress, too many environmental factors and diet ---

It’s eye-opening, isn’t it? We often assume infertility is about age, but it’s also about lifestyle, stress, and timing. The career vs. family dilemma is so real. Striking that balance feels more urgent than ever. ---

I’ve also thought about it but didn’t actually know the bigger picture (since i have never been to an embryologist lab) and its really a matter of thought ---

This is the kind of different perspective we gain after gaining experience in different departments. Its true that nowdays people use IVF due to various factors as everyones wants different things ---

This is such an eye-opening insight. It’s true how career goals and personal aspirations like starting a family can often clash, especially with the fast-paced lifestyle in fields like IT. IVF has become a bridge for many, offering hope and flexibility. ---

Yes, Agreed. I have seen couples in 40s have a healthy pregnancy without any treatment but by just staying fit. Hence, there are many factors including age, career,lifestyle, genetics that play a vital role in fertility.
